Sakho suspended by Liverpool

When I were a lad, fat burners were called running around a bit.

When I were a lad they were called lamps!

kick em out of Europe I say.

I wonder what all those who were dismissing the Leicester doping allegations as a handful of bitter posters' paranoid conspiracy theories (because no one in the Premier League would ever cheat - other countries yes, but not in the richest league in the world) are making of this now...

Doped up player scores vital goal to help his team into a semi final? There can't be any other response, really.

Mamadou Sakho has been suspended by Liverpool after failing a drugs test.

Damn!" Looks like an African Vardy!

tbh I don't know if they are and in reality I don't think they are. They might be but I don't think so. I hope they are and get found out though! Does that make me a conspiracy theorist?

Yup.

Welcome brother

 

[worcestersauce]

Could this explain his improvement in form over the last month or two?

It seems according to some just wanting Leicester to not win the league makes you some sort of conspiracy theorist.

The test he failed was after they played United in March apparently.

My point is that it is in his system so other tests would surely have picked this up, IF he was tested.

Footballers are rarely tested compared to athletes or cyclists. It wouldn't surprise me if each player was only tested a handful of times in their career.

The authorities are doing the minimum necessary for PR's sake, not actually trying to catch people. We can't have a scandal, it'd be bad for business.

I know people think I go overboard with the conspiracy stuff in regards to football but anybody who thinks corruption does not exist when there is this much money involved are lying to themselves.

Sure we all want to believe managers and players are professionals so these things would never happen, fixing would never happen, doping would never happen but history in sport has told us this simply isn't the case and these are only the documented cases.

The sports boards and everything involved with these sports would rather brush these issues under the carpet given the choice normally only acting when they know their hand is forced.

I have no doubt in my mind that Vardy has been doping along with maybe 2 other players in that Leicester squad, their injury turnarounds and many other factors lead me to believe this is the case.

Sure I could be wrong but the reality is if they were found to be doing so in PL games it would be a huge scandal for this league and would open up a wound, the bleeding would be hard to stop, fans and the world would question everything with teams, there would need to be major overhauls of how these things are dealt with.

This isn't a problem the men with the money want so they will do their best to avoid it.

If people think that's conspiracy then so be it but personally if people genuinely believe that corruption, doping or fixing doesn't exist in the PL they are deluded.

 

[worcestersauce]

I find it hard to believe there's doping and fixing on a widespread basis, if there is it has to be on an individual basis, clubs can't be systematically doping a squad of players without any single player eventually going public.

 

[Mattspur]

So, we played against him 2 weeks after his failed test.

If there is a big enquiry into the premier league I'd imagine they'd look at the team who's run the most. We've smashed everyone in that regard haven't we. Must be that Argie mate tea that Poch has brought in from South America.

That's the thing - whether it was us or somebody else they were pipping to the title, I'd be suspicious either way. It isn't sour grapes at all for me, I'm happy with our season regardless. It's the sheer illogicality of it all. It's like Barcelona getting relegated next year - there's no plausible explanation for the turn in fortunes, especially when they have a proven dog-shit manager at the helm.

Aren't Bournemouth top of the distance run stat table?

Oh shit. Yeah, you're right. We're both pretty level I'd imagine. Maybe that's why what's his name was so complimentary of us. Poch has been sending him the tea.

 

[KenilworthSpur]

Surely the best punishment all round would be to let him keep playing.

It seems like the Liverpool fans love him but I just don't see it, looks like an accident waiting to happen every time he gets the ball
